I was watching ESPN Classic the other day and they were showing England v Cameroon. There was several Brits talking over the action. Not entirely sure who they were....ex-players and managers anyway. They were discussing the match while it was going on, like a director's commentary. I lost count of the number of times the Cameroonians were described as being naive. Any situation. A late challenge, a mis-placed pass, not getting on the end of a cross.
I remember reading an interview with one of that Cameroon team, prior to kick off when both teams were in the tunnel Bobby Robson was trying to gee England up, saying things like "you're much better than this lot lads, you see how nervous they look?"
Eventually one of the Cameroon players piped up with "we speak English Mr Robson."
.
Tony Cascarino was there too right ?The majority of them played or had played in Ligue 1, anyway, so as regards "naivety" it's hardly liked they'd come direct from playing barefoot on some dirt pitch in the Cameroon. I think Big Mick was playing in Ligue 1 at the same time, wasn't he? I wonder how he fared against the likes of Oman-Biyik.

It was just Brits being racist, they were at it non stop during the world cup when they hated the vuvuzuella, Gary Lineker was pretty much openly xenophobic about the idea of a German side winning the CL at Wembley.
Yeah you're right, scored like a mad bastard for Marsielle.Oooh, did Cas not move there more to the mid 90s? He did about 3 or 4 seasons at the end of his career and he was still playing for us kicking the turd out of the Turks in 1997 or so.
John Byrne might've been playing there too at that time. Must've been decent wages going in Ligue 1 back then.
I'm all for love and respect and all, but xenophobic Brits are a breed that just refuse to die out. I was actually staggered when I heard Taylor say that on SSN. What a fucking dinosaur.
Carragher has joined Sky now too. In his book he moans about foreigners coming over taking jobs which meant his brother was unemployed.
As the father of a half-Polish boy (who will keep goal for Ireland someday, mark my words), I'd take up arms against a cunt like that.
When a scouser says foreign they mean Irish.
I'm not, he's a top quality player, we could do with someone with a bit of madness in him.Most of them came from Ireland anyway. I think Rooney's family originated in Dun Laoghaire. I used to fantasise about him playing for Ireland, when he first broke through, but I'm delighted it never happened.

I've heard there's a bit in his book about a time when he was at school and a teacher said to him that with a name like that he must be Irish. He went home and asked his father, "Dad are we Irish?" He dad replied "how the bloody hell am I supposed to know?" So while he might be part of the diaspora he certainly wasn't a Kilbane/McGeady/David Connolly type who was English but pretty much grew up Irish.

Good game, but 2 penalties that weren't penalties, and 2 offside goals. Shite officials. Goal-line technology isn't enough, just bring in a fucking video ref for goal decisions for fuck sake!
Well, keeps it funny anyway. The look on Buffon's face after that penalty was awarded against him, he must have been having flashbacks to Seoul!
